Is all Peer Support the same?There are many different kinds of
peer support and ways to practice peer support.
Different ways of “doing” peer support bring about different outcomes.
3
Intentional Peer Support asks:
What are we here to do?Not
What are we here to stop?
4
What Is Intentional Peer Support?IPS is a purposeful way of being in
relationship.
It requires deep self-reflection (What’s my agenda? What’s my assumption/bias?)
Curiosity and openness (How do you understand things? Honor other’s beliefs.)
Expectation of learning from each other (We both have much to learn, rather than I’m here to help you.)
5
Intentional Peer Support is also…Purposefully focusing on Communication
and Relationship.
Support and Help go both ways in a mutual reciprocal relationship.
Both individuals learn and grow.
Each person is the ‘expert’ about themselves and together, in an IPS relationship, a new ‘story’ is created.

Traditional Crisis ResponseCrisis Stabilization = Moving Away from
what you don’t want
Crisis Respite = Resting
Keeping people safe = Coercion
Skills to cope = Dealing with & maintaining status quo.
Problem Solving = Directing and advising
7
How can we change what we’re currently doing?
Change our Fear Based conversations to conversations
that are Hope Based
Fear Based = Moving Away from what we don’t want.
Hope Based = Moving Toward what we do want!
8
Fear-Based Response vs..Hope- Based Response
When we’re afraid we want to contain or control the situation. We want things to feel comfortable.
When we respond out of fear we take power.
Fear is sometimes generated by outside forces and stories (such as by our community).
A hope-based response means that you and the other person see an opportunity to learn and grow.
A hope-based response is contingent on both people’s needs
9
Learning Vs Help
Assuming we are there to help assumes there is a problem (disconnect)
Sometimes we “help” based on our own experience with help (worldview)
Co-learning does not assume that either one is there to teach (mutuality)
An emphasis on learning assumes growth (moving towards)
